How do you remove a small amount of gasoline from the ear canal?

My cousin was working on a fuel filter on my dump truck and accidentally got a small amount of gasoline in his ear. We tried rinsing it out with warm water and then applied a few drops of Castor Oil to help bring the gasoline to the surface. He says the pain is much less, but we haven't seen much improvement yet, as it hasn't been long since we tried this method. Is there anything else we can do to safely remove the gasoline from his ear?
